Heart & Lung Tests

EKG

One of the most common heart tests is an electrocardiogram (EKG). An EKG measures the electrical activity of the heart and can help identify irregularities in heart rhythm, such as arrhythmias.

This test is non-invasive and painless and usually takes only a few minutes to complete. At Mid South Internal Medicine, we offer EKG testing in a state-of-the-art facility using the latest equipment and technology.

Chest X-Rays

Mid South Internal Medicine performs chest X-rays to help diagnose and monitor various conditions affecting the chest area. A chest X-ray can provide detailed images of the heart, lungs, and surrounding tissues and help identify lung cancer, pneumonia, and other respiratory problems.

Our state-of-the-art X-ray equipment ensures that you get the most accurate and comprehensive imaging possible. Our trained professionals are on hand to interpret the results and develop a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs.

Stress Test

Another important heart test is a stress test. This test measures how well the heart performs under physical stress, such as exercise.

During a stress test, you’ll exercise on a treadmill while hooked to an ECG machine. This test can help identify heart disease and other conditions affecting heart function.

Mid South Internal Medicine offers stress testing services, with trained professionals to monitor you throughout the test.
